I am proud to live in the Medway Towns, we moved from Essex in 1999 and have never looked back. We have made many lovely friends over here and feel apart of a very large family...Medway has often bared the brunt of bad press, but that is all changing....Our kids are amongst the most interesting and trendsetting kids you would ever wish to meet and its not surprising really, as we have a major Art institute (KIAD) in Chatham, and now a new state of the art College in Gillingham!

Sorry I have been gone for a few days, I have been enjoying the weather and getting out there in the lovely sunshine...We have been decorating the garden! with oddments of furniture with no home, from our move....as you know not everything fitted in!

I'll bring you the pictures soon gals....there has been a downside though! I suffer terribly in the heat! every mosquito in sight homes in on me and despite me wearing as many clothes as I can suffer on a hot day! the mossies still managed to bite me at least 10 times down my legs! I think they can taste the sweet 'toffee crumble' inside my veins! LOL! Yes I have polished the lot off! Thank goodness that has gone! WHAT A GREEDY PIG I am!! hahaha! some things never change!!

Oh and as to my blood tests...everthing is A OK!...so the reason I am feeling so under the weather is probably because I havn't been eating too healthily lately! still summers here and I have managed to get hold of a lovely butler sink that I am going to grow some herbs and hopefully some salad in! so at least I'll be getting some nutrients!

Anyway I had better go...I'll be back with some more news of our 'new look' garden shortly.....I hope you are all having a lovely weekend :) Speak to you soon!...

On Saturday, when I got back from doing a photo shoot....I found a parcel on my doorstep...Oh how exciting! I love Pressie's!...and then I remembered, that the beautiful Fleur from Marble Rose emailed me and said that she had picked up a little pressie for Max!

Hello my lurverlies, Thank you so much for your very kind comments on my last post, you have all really given me the encouragement that I needed and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart :) I promise I will keep you all posted, whatever I decide to do ;)

I have been thinking about this alot lately! without meaning to blow my own trumpet, I always seem to be on the start of a trend a couple of years before anyone else...I actually remember about 6 years ago stocking Cath Kidston pieces in a boutique we owned, and people totally ignoring the pretty prints and homewares...and all because, they simply hadn't heard of her!...for me I have always bought something, because I liked it and not because, my next door neighbour had it or I saw it in a magazine!

I have been feeling a little under the weather lately...I really do not know what is wrong with me...its probably an age thing, as my hair has started to thin and I am starting to feel rather hot, when usually I am the only one who is freezing cold!...anyway I am off to the hospital tomorrow to have some bloods done...so that should sort me out...I'll keep you all posted, I had suspected that I might have an overactive thyroid! HA chance of that! and why am I the only person to of not lost weight with it!!! but apparently 10% of people with it will put weight on!! I bet I am in that 10%!!LOL! still not being one to self diagnose! and after 10 hours trying to sort my problems out on the internet last night....I awoke at 10 am this morning!

Gee Whizz and jolly hockey sticks!!!....Happy loves Rosie is now in print and its all thanks to the lovely Tara Frey from 'Typing out Loud', as I am featured in her new book 'Blogging for Bliss'!...Last year I got an email from Tara, to ask me if I would like to be included in her new book, and as you can imagine I was very flattered indeedy to be asked to participate. We have all had to keep it under wraps for quite sometime...but now finally I can share this wonderful news with you all!.
